Can't do that long of a ride on friday. Pick up daughter from school at 3pm. I was planning on hitting wildcat(carefree) on friday. Her school is not far from there.
Coke ovens is not that difficult, did it just 3 weeks ago. Those guys on nsrides make things look harder then they are(he shoots weird camera angles to make thing look steep). The ratings that they use would be geared towards beginner riders. If you have ridden for anytime at all it will be a cake walk for you.
If you cant find anyone to go this friday and you still want to do it I can go the following wednesday the 8th.
I would say 9:45am to be safe. Just me and possibly one other rider. I usually park at a friends house off of Dynamite and 144th. I think there is a parking area by 136th, but I will check for sure.
